Options: Computer Technology AAS – Programming: Changing to Software Development AAS
Proposal Summary [360 words maximum]
What: Helena College request to re-title the existing Computer Technology AAS – Programming to Software Development for the existing AAS degree.
Why: The Computer Technology AAS –Programming degree has long been an important degree option at Helena College, both for students seeking to enter the workforce in programming related positions, and for the local employers it serves. After thorough discussions with local employers and industry partners, it was determined that changing the degree name from Computer Technology AAS – Programming to Software Development is much more relevant to industry and that it better encompasses the degree curriculum. The current degree curriculum is not changing, apart from a few minor curricular changes connected to ongoing course assessment and learning outcome updates.
Please note: the existing Computer Technology program has a separate request to be re-titled to Information Technology and Programming. The Software Development AAS degree is part of this program.
Resources: No additional resources are needed to re-title the degree. All relevant documents and forms will be updated to reflect the new degree title. Marketing and promotional materials will also be updated with the new degree title. Industry and educational partners will be notified of the new program title.

Request for authorization to retitle the Computer Aided Design C.A.S. to Engineering Technology
Institution: Missoula College CIP Code: 15.9999
Program/Center/Institute Title: Department of Business Technology, Missoula College
Includes (please specify below): Face-to-face Offering: Online Offering: Blended Offering: X
Options: None
Proposal Summary [360 words maximum]
What:
Missoula College requests authorization from the Montana Board of Regents to retitle the certificate of applied science in Computer Aided Design to Engineering Technology.
Why:
The name Computer Aided Design is aligned to a specific facet within the program and its current description does not provide an accurate representation of the coursework covered in the C.A.S. Engineering Technology will articulate a view of different job modalities that come from the program, including Civil/Architectural Designer/Drafter, Electrical/Electronic Designer, Mechanical/Electrical Drafter, and CAD Designer/Drafter. The name change will more accurately reflects the program’s assigned CIP code. The Computer Aided Design Employer Advisory Committee made recommendations to retitle Computer Aided Design in favor of the new program name of Engineering Technology to more accurately represent job titles with local engineering firms for program graduates during its January 29, 2020 Advisory Board meeting. Additionally, the content
delivered in the one-year certificate program closely mirrors coursework found in the Civil Engineering Technology AAS degree at Highlands College and provides students the opportunity to continue their education on other MUS campuses.
Resources:
No additional resources are required.

Request for authorization to retitle the General option in the Administrative Management A.A.S. to Office Management

Proposal Summary [360 words maximum]
What:
Missoula College requests authorization from the Montana Board of Regents to retitle the General option in the Administrative Management associate of applied science to Office Management.

The current general pathway in the Administrative Management A.A.S. does not have a specific title. Adding the Office Management title helps differentiate between the two existing Administrative Management degree programs. This
